Church survey and valuation
As a Methodist Insurance church customer, you have access to our team of risk management surveyors.
It is important that you let us know about certain activities and changes at your church. We can provide help and advice and in some cases we may need to adjust your insurance cover.
Our checklist below outlines when you need to call us.
Where the trustees have agreed a contract making them responsible for insuring any loss or damage to the building works or unfixed materials then we automatically include cover up to £150,000. If any of the following apply please call us:
As part of your mission, you may be planning to support your community, for example, through providing a night shelter, food bank or Parish Nursing.
We expect many churches to regularly run fêtes and coffee mornings and your policy will usually provide cover for these.
In the event of the closure of your church, trustees need to review the insurance cover they need. It is important that we are contacted so we can explain what cover is available for a closed church. We can also advise you about the risk management steps that will need to be taken while church buildings are unoccupied.
We do not need to know about every minor accident that takes place at your church. All accidents, no matter how small, should be recorded in your accident book. Please keep all records of witness statements and any evidence in case we require these for any future claim.
Please make sure you let us know if the correspondent for your church is changing. We’ll need to know the name, address, phone number and email address of the new correspondent.
